Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2023 Lipoptena cervi and Ixodes scapularis sampled from the same white‐tailed deer did not consistently harbour similar bacterial genera (N = 38 deer). Non‐systemic acquisition of pathogens by keds requires further study. Bartonella sp. was detected from deer ked species (Lipoptena sp., Neolipoptena ferrisi) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee ...

Neotropical Deer Ked or Neotropical Deer Louse Fly, Lipoptena mazamae Rondani
EDIS, 2003 The Neotropical deer ked is a common ectoparasite of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the southeastern United States. The louse flies (Hippoboscidae) are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of birds and mammals.

Bartonella Infections in Deer Keds (Lipoptena cervi) and Moose (Alces alces) in Norway [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACTInfections withBartonellaspp. have been recognized as emerging zoonotic diseases in humans. Large knowledge gaps exist, however, relating to reservoirs, vectors, and transmission of these bacteria. We describe identification by culture, PCR, and housekeeping gene sequencing ofBartonellaspp. in fed, wingless deer keds (Lipoptena cervi), deer ked

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy). [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolThis is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.

Immunofluorescence analysis reveals no increased seroprevalence of anti-Bartonella schoenbuchensis-IgG antibodies in German forest workers [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Bartonella schoenbuchensis is suspected to cause deer ked dermatitis and febrile diseases in humans. Deer keds (Lipoptena cervi), which infest cervids (e.g., roe deer, fallow deer), are discussed as potential vectors for B.

Molecular Detection and Phylogenetic Characterization of Bartonella bovis in Dairy Cattle From Central Thailand. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisBartonella bovis is an emerging ruminant pathogen with zoonotic potential. Although various Bartonella species have been detected in animals in Thailand, none have been reported in dairy cattle. We investigated the occurrence and genetic characteristics of Bartonella spp.

Molecular detection of Bartonella spp. in deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) in Poland [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background The bacteria of the genus Bartonella are obligate parasites of vertebrates. Their distribution range covers almost the entire world from America, Europe, Asia to Africa and Australia. Some species of Bartonella are pathogenic for humans. Their

Molecular pathogen screening of louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) from domestic and wild ruminants in Austria [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Hippoboscid flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), also known as louse flies or keds, are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of animals, and accidentally of humans.
